Sun in Virgo In The Theater
The sun is the astrological "planet" of the ego, the self/self-expression, attention, creativity, and presentation. Virgo is the sign of purity, perfection, humility, hard-work, and practicality. It is a mutable sign (representing adaptability/flexibility), it is an earth sign (representing sensual energy), and it is ruled by Mercury (the planet of the mind, communication, and skills). When the sun is in Virgo, the ego is humbled and pure. The native with sun in Virgo is indeed humble compared to other sun natives, yet they are actually very proud people especially of the things they do because they work hard for it. They are practical and reasonable. They are able to look at how they can make improvements in their life in a way no others can (sometimes they are their own worst critic).
As actors, they may carry themselves with all the humility the sign of Virgo offers, but their pride and ego is most prevalent when it comes to their line of work which is acting in this case. They work hard to perfect their acting skills, wanting to give nothing best their best. They can be quite entertaining: clever, sarcastic, and humorous in their expression of the sun's energy. They make excellent comedians because of these qualities. They are quite flexible, able to make things work so long as there is a routine to follow. They must be careful of slaving too much for too little. They must set their standards high enough to receive the fruits of their labor. They must also learn to relax from time to time. As actors, they are able to accept constructive criticism unlike others but not without pointing out the flaws around them. They might nitpick their working environment and maybe even their roles from time to time which may limit some of their opportunities. They should try to be a little more open minded and tolerant of those they work with. They might struggle with fame because they are critical of themselves and want to be perfect. They must remember that no one is perfect.
As directors, they are possibly the hardest to work under. Sure, they work hard to direct the perfect movie by making sure every detail is taken into consideration. However, their need for perfection can make them quite critical and fussy. Everything just has to be exactly the way they envision it and nothing else. They expect hard work and diligence. Don't be late and don't be a slacker! They might need to be a little more tolerant, otherwise no one will want to work with them. Of course, if a person is strong enough to work under their direction that person will be lucky enough to be apart of some of the greatest projects ever made because this director puts their best foot forward. These directors know what they want and they are quite communicative about it from the very beginning. They make excellent coaches in the art of acting, so this might also be a good outlet for them.
Note: Natives with the sun aspecting Mercury might also relate to this description.
